Donald probably will be somewhat rotational

August 03, 2026 04:50PM
Not that he'd play 10-12 snaps a game. But he's also not coming back and playing 85%+ of snaps, which is what he was doing the last 7 years of his career. He's just not. Add in the fact that they said in 2023 he got down to around 265, and has certainly only lost weight since, and part of what he's doing is putting ON (good) weight.

But at 35 and weighing in the low to mid-260s, yeah, you're not an every-down guy. And they don't need him to be. Turner led the Rams d-line, playing 67% of snaps. Fiske 48.3%. Ford 45.3%. He'll be in that ballpark.

  Starting to think Aaron Donald should just come back before the playoffs.

  It takes time to integrate with the team.

  260's is very light and would be a problem

  He played in the 260s most of his career

  Why not play him at EDGE?

  More of a 3-4 DE

  I think AD would instantly integrate....

  Disagree. The team needs time to work the rotation.
